And lest we leave the mistaken impression that all we have to do is switch
coffee brands to "save" song birds, buy yourself a copy of:

_Where Have All the Birds Gone?_ Terborgh, John. 1989. Princeton University
Press.

Terborgh calmy, rationally and without ad hominem attack establishes the
many factors affecting song birds- from agricultural practices in the tropics
to habitat fragmentation and exotic introductions on the breeding grounds.
He looks at the real data. He looks at it critically.

There are some things we can be doing here at home while we drink our shade-
grown coffee, too.
